Abstract
- Dieulafoy's lesion is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, but can be associated with massive, life-threatening GI bleeding. This lesion is an isolated protruding vessel of the submucosal artery associated with a small mucosal defect and normal surrounding mucosa. Although this lesion can occur throughout the GI tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, rectum, etc), it has been rarely reported elsewhere than the stomach. Especially, there have been no reports of Dieulafoy lesion coexistent with early gastric cancer in Korea. We report the successful application of endoscopic hemoclipping for the treatment of a very rare Dieulafoy lesion coexistent with early gastric cancer.
